      Since the start of his career in 2007, Karthi has never worked with the same director twice. However, with this film, he has broken that unspoken rule since he has previously worked with Mani Ratnam in Kaatru Veliyidai (2017).

    Flat characterization and slow plot
    Overall A Period Action Film that had potential but ends up as an underwhelming watch!

    Interesting storyline with good music and visuals but is wasted by flat narration with absolutely no highs/emotional connect needed for this genre. Lack of characterization and slow plot. Could have better screenplay. For me, #Trisha, #Karthi & #ChiyaanVikram steal the show 👏

    Especially Karthi, his one liners are so good 😄

    TrishaKrishnan with her beauty & performance shines 👌

    ChiyaanVikram was 🔥🔥🔥

    Worth to watch if u know the story you will easily understand Chola Dynasty. Great way of portraying history. A must watch film.
